Tripo AI

Tripo AI is a free online AI 3D model generator that converts text prompts, images, photos, or sketches into 3D models in seconds. Tripo is developed by VAST and powers the Tripo Studio workspace, where users generate models, refine them, animate them, and export them for games, film, e-commerce, and 3D printing. The platform offers two main generation paths: the High Detail Model, which produces high-fidelity models with up to 2 million polygons for rendering, VFX, and product visuals, and Smart Mesh, which generates artist-quality quad meshes from 500 to 50K polygons that are engine-ready with no retopology needed. Tripo includes a full post-processing toolkit: automatic rigging with production-ready skeletons, PBR texturing, smart segmentation that splits models into parts for 3D printing, and multi-view generation that turns single images into multiple views. Export formats include GLB, FBX, OBJ, USD, STL, and 3MF, so assets drop directly into Unity, Unreal, Cocos, Godot, Roblox, Blender, and other DCC tools. Tripo is used by major partners including Sony, ByteDance, NetEase Games, Tencent Games, Bambu Lab, Creality, Anycubic, Stability AI, and Replit, spanning animation and film previs, product design for e-commerce, industrial design, VR/AR/XR, game characters, and 3D printing. The free plan gives 200 credits monthly with about 13 models, while paid plans scale credits, concurrent tasks, processing priority, and storage. Tripo also offers an API for developers who want to integrate 3D generation into their own pipelines, and the platform keeps adding features like 8K textures, part-based transforms, and texture editing with a magic brush on higher tiers. Tripo Studio also includes batch generation for producing many assets in one run, edit history for revisiting past iterations, and a DCC bridge that connects Blender, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal, Maya, Cocos, Godot, and ZBrush workflows. The platform's image generation capability, powered by models like Nano Banana and Midjourney on higher tiers, lets users create source imagery before converting it to 3D, closing the loop from concept to asset. New-user coupons and one-time credit packs make it easy to scale up for specific projects, and the free plan's 200 monthly credits are enough to evaluate quality. Tripo's research team publishes papers and model releases, and the Event page shows an active community and competition program. For production teams, features like part-based transforms, part-based retopology, and texture editing with a magic brush provide granular control beyond simple generation, while the API enables automated asset pipelines at scale.
